What's included
How We Will Work Together My approach combines the rigorous standards of a national newsroom with the empathy of a dedicated coach. I know how intimidating it can be to step under the bright lights or onto a major stage, so my first priority is creating a supportive space where we can experiment, make mistakes, and build your confidence. My Coaching Style: Authentic and Actionable I do not believe in forcing clients into a rigid, cookie-cutter mold. If you are naturally high-energy, we will harness that. If you are naturally soft-spoken and thoughtful, we will make that your superpower. My goal is to uncover and amplify the best version of your natural communication style so you can share your story genuinely. The Newsroom Advantage What sets my coaching apart is my time as a CNN correspondent. I have navigated breaking news, tough interviews, and complex reporting on live television. I bring that exact insider knowledge to you. I will pull back the curtain on how producers think, what audiences actually respond to, and how to handle unpredictable moments with absolute grace.
- Custom Action Plan: A targeted roadmap focusing on your specific goals, from eliminating filler words to mastering pacing and breath control.
- Session Recordings & Feedback: Video playbacks of your practice runs accompanied by actionable, time-stamped notes tracking your measurable improvement.
- The Pre-Game Routine: A personalized warm-up checklist designed to calm nerves and project executive presence before you ever take the mic.

Boost Your Public Speaking Skills w/CNN Correspondent & Media Expert
As a former CNN correspondent, I know firsthand what it takes to capture an audience's attention, navigate high-stakes environments, and deliver a message that resonates. But at my core, I am a storyteller at heart, and my true passion is helping you find your voice. Whether you are stepping onto a global stage, sitting down for a national broadcast, or pitching to investors, how you tell your story matters. I specialize in public speaking coaching for keynote addresses and media appearances, equipping you with the tools to speak with clarity, conviction, and absolute confidence. Who I Work With I partner with a diverse range of leaders and organizations to elevate their messaging: - B2B SaaS Leaders & Tech Executives: Technology moves fast, and the messaging can easily get lost in the weeds. I help founders and executives distill complex, jargon-heavy topics into digestible, compelling bites that drive business results and engage broad audiences. - Non-Profit & Advocacy Leaders: I work with leading organizations, including the ACLU, to humanize their data, amplify their mission, and connect with their communities on a deeply emotional level. *** Coaching how to overcome ESL challenges or general confidence building is not my specialty *** My Coaching Approach - Great speaking isn't about changing who you are; it is about uncovering the most powerful version of your natural communication style. In our sessions, we will: - Refine your core narrative so it leaves a lasting impact. - Master the mechanics of on-camera and on-stage delivery. - Build strategies to manage nerves and project executive presence. - Anticipate tough questions and practice pivoting during media interviews.
